Two days af­ter the hus­band of a kid­napped woman of Madras Set­tle­ment es­caped their kid­nap­pers, the 54-year-old woman was found wan­der­ing along Cumaca Road, Va­len­cia yes­ter­day.

It ap­peared she was dropped off there by her kid­nap­pers.

Mat­tie Maraj told po­lice that af­ter walk­ing along Cumaca Road, she saw a house and went there ask­ing for as­sis­tance.

She re­lat­ed to the oc­cu­pants of the house that she was kid­napped along with her hus­band.

The oc­cu­pants im­me­di­ate­ly tele­phone the Va­len­cia po­lice and of­fi­cers ar­rived to find Mat­tie who iden­ti­fied her­self as the wife of Nar­ine Maraj who was kid­napped along with her on Sat­ur­day.

Po­lice took Matie to the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal where she un­der­went med­ical at­ten­tion.

Nar­ine and Mat­tie Maraj were kid­napped from their farm in Pi­ar­co on Sat­ur­day. A $2 mil­lion ran­som de­mand was made for their safe re­turn.

Ag Snr Supt Ryan Khan, of­fi­cers of the Kid­nap­ping Unit, CID of­fi­cers, SORT East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force, Air Sup­port and Va­len­cia po­lice of­fi­cers were the first to re­spond.

Po­lice con­firmed that sev­er­al sus­pects are in cus­tody and are be­ing ques­tioned.

This is the house where kidnap victim 54 year old Mattie Maraj (inset) was found on San Pedro Road, Valencia, after she was set free by her abductors, yesterday.
